The Egyptian government-affiliated newspaper Al-Ahram has cited Egyptian security officials at the Taba Border Crossing as saying that the Israeli authorities have handed over an Egyptian citizen, resident of northern Sinai, after the man completed a 28-month drug-related prison sentence in Israel.

According to the report the man is Jihad Mukhsan, a 20-year-old who was arrested in Tel Aviv after he was caught selling drugs. (Roi Kais)
